The first car / boat / aircraft battery - anode voltage power supply for an early car radio such as Crosley's Roamio 91 from 1931. These devices needed extra anode batteries, which were stowed in the vehicle and had to be replaced regularly.
The "6" ELKNODE type chopper / vibrator for 6 volts has only one contact. It is adjustable and, unlike the later replacement cartridges, can be repaired.
The device sits in a massive and tight sheet metal box that could be fitted anywhere in the vehicle.
Das erste Auto- / Boots- / Flugzeugbatterie - Anodenspannungsnetzteil für ein frühes Autoradio wie z.B. Crosleys ROAMIO von 1932. Diese Geräte benötigten noch extra Anodenbatterien, die im Fahrzeug verstaut wurden und regelmäßig getauscht werden mußten.
Der Zerhacker / Vibrator vom Typ "6" ELKNODE für 6 Volt hat nur einen Kontakt. Er ist eintellbar und kann im Gegensatz zu den späteren Tauschpatronen repariert werden.
Das Gerät sitzt in einem massiven und dichten Blechkasten der irgendwo passend im Fahrzeug montiert werden konnte.
